- Antique & Thrifts Replace Goodwill | Vintage Value Finds
A Nashville, Tennessee trip to a familiar Goodwill shows an unfamiliar sight when we discover the store is permanently closed! Fortunately, a huge thrift shop we've never seen is just up the street, and it's jammed full of more and better things than the old thrift store ever had.
Southern Thrift becomes our first stop, on a day when thrift stores and antique malls in the big city are our destinations! This massive store has lots of vintage goods, from elegant glass and vintage dinnerware to an Adirondack frame priced too low to be believed. We comb the entire place, and end up with some surprising jewelry finds to boot!
Then it's on to pick up a collector friend to head to the city's last (and biggest) remaining antique mall, so large it has an annex! Gateway Antiques is an elevator ride up to a huge maze of dealer booths, where childhood miniatures, vintage costume jewelry, fine art glass and fun kitsch fill thousands of square feet with finds. We even find a sign we suspect Alex @CuriosityIncorporated sees in his sourcing travels!
We show you how we pick and choose between so many offerings in this video, talk about the good stuff we buy (and some of the good stuff we pass by), snoop at what other people paid for their purchases and celebrate all the fun that is vintage thrifting and antiquing!
Have fun with us as we take it all in, including:
Wilder Bentley painting, Juliana jewelry, Wedgwood china, sugar and papier-mâché Easter eggs, jungle painting, Hall creamer, spattered Melmac, Czech necklace, Montana plein air painting, French bronze statue and clock, Capodimonte busts, Victorian child's rocker and side chair, plantation sideboard/hutch, fire hose cover door, Davenport china, Aldo Londi jar, Daum Pâte de Verre glass, Chantilly and other sterling silver flatware, Israeli stoneware, Gerry Mahoney ventriloquist dummy, dollhouse miniatures, pocket watches, tobacco cards, Burwood bath clock, Paragon Sevres pattern tea set, Lladro fishing boat, Blenko acid-etched vases, Empoli decanters, silver overlay bottle, Weller Silvertone vase, Red Wing 1965 Minnesota Twins bowl, Vanderbilt University light cover, vintage vinyl, cameras, phones, Enid Collins purses, 1950s barstools, quilts, Fenton swung vase, Culver glass set, Mary Hadley cat, collage art, Asian carpets, English andirons, Roseville Raymor tray, chrome bar cart, Smokey the Bear mug, Frankoma planter, Pachinko machine, Rosewood modernist end table, Bischoff glass, Lucite chair, velvet painting, American Bisque cookie jars, etc.

its videos like these that killed goodwill and trifling at large. It used to be a trade of years of earned personal knowledge, now game is given away for free creatinting more competition from people who have no decorum and less respect for the hobby.

When UA-camrs put views over realized sales that's what truly hurt the trade. Fame over fortune ego hungry.
@@TheAntiqueNomad I appreciate my Mr. Nomad.I as an older/ newer collector and seller. I so appreciate his knowledge. Believe me,His knowledge took some time, effort, and sacrifice. I get real Mama unhappy when I hear criticism. There are only a few like him around.✌️
I guess you’ll be trying to put down everyone on UA-cam that is helping others. You’re going to be busy; all the crafters, plumbers, electricians, real estate agents, attorneys, cpas, homeowner associations, dancers giving dance lessons oh I could go on and on….and on. Why did you pick this site to be ugly?
I have some not so great feeling about some newbie people who will do anything for fortune and fame .but this one knows his stuff and there's lots to learn.
I like that you are not just shopping. You are also teaching thanks!
I like that too, he shares his knowledge generosity
George,
I learn more from your channel than all the others combined. As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Same! Plus George will respond to subscriber comments, whereas the people running other similar channels rarely if ever acknowledge their subscribers. George has the most knowledge AND is kind & considerate to his subscribers.
I try when time allows! Thanks
Glad to hear it, my pleasure!
My grandmother used to send me one of those sugar eggs every year for Easter in the 1960s. It was such a disappointment to learn that the it was only for looks…not candy. ☹️ it LOOKED good enough to eat, but my brother and I broke one once, and it was a huge disappointment.
I’m so lucky! I have my mother’s Chantilly sterling flatware. 12 place settings and a few serving pieces. She bought it in the 60’s. I have TWO granddaughters, so each will get 6 place settings. I will let them flip a quarter to divide up the serving pieces😜
Great video.
Awesome show!
The world's a better place with George in it !
I appreciate that you appreciate the sugar eggs. I learned to make them from my great aunt, who would be 121 this year. I make those eggs every few years. Thinking about learning home made porcelain, they are just too much work to turn yellow in a few years and be thrown away. When I was younger, my mom had one my aunt had done for about 25 years in the China cabinet with her glass treasures. 😄
I don't get out much, so seeing all the types of things you are interested in-and know about-is SO much fun for me!! Thank you very much!
"They like each other" gave me a much needed laugh, lol. Thanks George and Xeno!
:)
Speaking of looking everywhere in the thrift store, I was in Goodwill last week and about ready to give up and was walking by the three tiered bins with wallets and clutches and found the most (“hiding” in the back of one of the bins) BEAUTIFUL vintage Tonala Mexican bowl! No chips or cracks!!!!
I love finding items people hide in hopes to get later! That’s why it pays to look up, down, and all around.
Thank you so much for describing what you are seeing and teaching the novices (like me) about what things are worth, where they come from, and how they are made.
You are so welcome! I want everyone to get to know and appreciate all this cool stuff!
“Sankyo”. “You’re welcome” 😂😂 great trip! Ty for taking us along. Dawn
Any time!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful trips to antique store. You’re a wonderful person.
It warms my heart whenever I hear that a Goodwill has closed. Maybe the other ones will begin to realize what they're doing wrong, which is A LOT.
Agreed!
Lol, you mean corporate.. we always hear that from self entitled youtubers.... "Oh, I have permission from corporate to film here". These are the one's you need to blame. They are resellers, who took advantage of "Goodwill" and ruined it for everyone else. Watch Crazy Lamp Lady recently move into her million dollar mansion... look no further !. She'll never go hungry, along with her vitriolic republican religious prolife father. Shame on the whole bloody lot of them. Shame, shame, shame...
I donated so many things through the years to Goodwill
Believing they help people. Malarkey, they are for profit company. I found them rude and price things so high. I now donate to the vets.
Yeah but it's not the prices that I hate !!!! It's the fact that many of them are being mismanaged. And they are not being cleaned , organized correctly . Most good stuff has been pulled because they are aware of resellers who can make money. So keep taking your free donated items and charging like new prices and see how fast you all close down !!! I can't wait for the salvation army near me to go !
@@morecm3322 I photographed one of those vet collecting trucks pulled up behind my local thrift store once. I had stopped shopping that store many years ago. They were hoarding donations in carts that were six feet high filled with stuff. Imagine how gross stuff became in those bins. They would sit them outside because they didn't have space inside. Was sickening. And I also saw rats . One of the very few places I've ever seen a rat !!!
George you just amaze
Me with how much you know. I wanna be you someday when I grow up. Thanks for all you do for
This community
Thank you so much! I want to do what I can to help everyone who wants to know more about all this cool old stuff
Your knowledge of antiques just blows me away! You'd be great on Antiques Road show!
He was on antiques roadshow .
@@emptychair8141 I'm not surprised. I've watched him on so many videos. He's never at a loss.
Yes Joni ! I only started watching him couple months ago. Think this is what he's always done. I've been a thrifter for myself and browsing antiques whenever possible and I don't know much at all. When I watch these resellers I don't know hardly anything they know.when I really should know !! But now I'm shopping and looking with some little better idea of what I'm looking at. Maybe now I'll really find that valuable piece! But i heard him mention he did appraisals at antique roadshow. Or helped research them behind the scenes. OMG !!! That was one of my fav shows back when I watched TV and could actually get a channel. Since I won't pay for cable I don't get it v so I don't watch. But no lie I've watched episodes of ars on utube !!! Still know nothing 🤯
Pure pleasure with my tea & biscuits!
Thank you!
Sounds lovely
I love it that you know painters!
Another very interesting video. Thank you.
Daum France love it found one at goodwill stretch console vase $800, I paid $8
Over 25 yrs ago I started treasure hunting and had antique booth for many years. My specialty was mid century art , glass and pottery, lamps etc. I found really good stuff (Bitosi, Blenko etc) on every thrift trip almost every day back then. Now I cannot even find it in the Antique Malls here! What amazes me is the prices now a days. For example swung vases and tall italian decanters sold for no more than $20 and took a long time to sell especially in orange. I had a three or four foot orange swung vase that I purchased for $25. at a mall! Another item was the Lucite Grapes, couldnt give them away, now they sell for a lot of money. One more item I loved were the large colored glass optic brandy snifters for four dollars. I cannot find one I can afford now. I think the young kids have inflated the prices.
What about all the mushroom canisters that everyone is crazy about now? I can’t stand them, I grew up with them. Pretty pricey now!
@@audreyholt7721 ...I can't stand mushroom canisters either
the Snyder's drug store just closed in my little town. During the closeout sale i bought a camel cigarette clock from 1985 off the wall. and 2 awesome midcentury chairs. A domore industrial and a salmon pink vinyl and chrome arm chair. $25.00 for the 3 pieces.
WOW!! great job!
Wow what an amazing buy!
You are a pro!!
Thanks George!
You are very knowledgeable, subscribed
George thank you so much for describing items and sharing your knowledge with us. I feel like my shopping ventures are so much more enjoyable with the tidbits of information that make me a little more aware. You also helped me out to identify a watercolor and it's worth and I am so grateful. Wish it was better, but still love it just as much. You don't realize how nice it is to have someone respond when you ask a question or make a comment. Thank you so much!
You're very welcome, and I am glad you get value from my content! Your support as a member is also very much appreciated. ❤️
Educational!
I see so many deals in Chippendale and Victorian style furniture, I do think it’s becoming an attractive style of decoration for younger first time home buyers.
Have you ever heard of Cabinet cards?? We sold one at Christie's auction for $32,000! It was Roger Connor, lead the series in home runs before Babe Ruth
Those are earlier and are fantastic when you get a rare one like that
@@TheAntiqueNomad it was from 1887
You are very knowledgeable, wish I knew as much as you Enjoyed listening to you today!
You are an amazing educational channel! I learned more in this 1 video than I have from anything/anyone else in the last 30 days! 🥰
You are amazingly knowledgeable!! I'm blown away!! Is there any type of item you don't know about? Wow.....
Oh, I learn new things almost every day! There's an infinite variety
You are such a wealth of knowledge! Great video!
Great video for George- fans to Share with friends!
I love your videos, thanks for another great one.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for mentioning information about Blenko and pointing out pieces that you come across. Not many resellers talk about it but it’s my passion.
I think it's just because so much is in collections they don't see it often! I love it and collect some myself
Love that you kept explaining and entertaining even when you weren't finding much to buy. Your love and appreciation shows through even for items that are full retail.
I learn so much from you even though most items I will never find in Australia, but you never know...and I appreciated the Tassie number plate even though it's not my State 😊
It does pay to look everywhere as you said. I find bybee pottery pieces on a regular basis.
You provide a wealth of information in every video! Happy to have found you 😊
This was fun and thanks for taking me along and teaching me new stuff as well. Here is something that will probably make you cry sorry. I found a few of those antique/vintage glass bead necklaces and I really thought they were cute. So I tore them apart and made doll house lamps out of them. They are beautiful tiny lamps now. lol Have a great day
My grandparents gave me a sugar egg for Easter as a child. If I saw a cheap on in a thrift (not customized to Matt), I'd definitely pick it up.
I must say, I really enjoy your videos. You are so knowledgeable. I love learning new things. I found you through the Crazy Lamp Lady a year or more ago. My grandparents used to own and operate The Musical Museum / Old Lamplighter Shop in Deansobro, NY. I realize now, what a charmed childhood I had growing up in that atmosphere. The business closed in the 90's and both of my grandparents have since passed. It was an amazing place.
Hi George n xeno from milledgeville ga
I so appreciate you and the journey's you take us on I've become very good armchair traveler. My little joy was going to good will. It was good exercise, but I moved from the hills to the ocean and goodwill here is boring 😴 and high prices. They have no jewelry
Frustrating but I'm glad I can show you some things instead!
Thank you for always sharing knowledge!
this store has some very nice things!
Open! Open! Open!
PLEASE LET ME IN the back room...PUHLEEEZE.
Ya rock Honey.
Blessings
Me too!
LOL
my best finds are at the HABITATstores..park city Utah looks like a boutique
Thanks George, fun as usual.
I really liked the assemblages created from older toys and such. As always, I am amazed by your depth of knowledge and appreciate you taking the time to educate your followers in your videos. Thanks for sharing, George!
Luved EC handbags
13:35 "They like each other" 😂😂😂
Wow! Such a great information-packed video
I rarely find stuff in Goodwill and they are very expensive.
The mid century glass at the 20:20 mark is my absolute favoriiiite.Thanks for showing it George. LOL, I tought you were telling Goodwill goodbye, like im not coming back but the goodwill is gone🤣😂😅
I love that stuff! No, the Goodwill actually is gone, closed and no surprise, it wasn't a good one. The thrift store across the street was much better though~!
Love your videos! I have learned so much. Thank you and keep the videos coming!
As a kid, I got one of those sugared Easter eggs every year from the Broadway Market in Buffalo.
Such a great video, so much information. Thank you
I love the flapper era necklace 😍
At least it doesn't take a lot of room in my house to love it!
Yes, love the small collectibles. 💜
Nice to see Xeno, I love watching you two shop. Your knowledge is vast and I always enjoy learning from you.
Thanks! I like doing this with other people
George, I’ve been to these places, when I’m visiting my kids in Nashville. Maybe someday I’ll run into you. 😃💕👍🏻
I hope so!
Wouldn't that be fun!!🙂
all the good stuff is in the back.
This is my stomping grounds. This location shutdown shorty after your visit but the others remained open. The hunt is for real in and around Nashville!
I got lost in watching your videos so I had a nomad video experience for like several hours so enjoyed it and love how you present your stuff really I catching wonderful the explanations are so educating it reminds me of when people really took the time to present their items and they didn't go full board crazy with the idea they would single in on one or two items that were very important to their line and really emphasize those and that was the good old days I suppose.
I come from that time! I know that some things are the ones that will be "important" or sell for a lot, but collecting is about much more than money. I like sending out info on everything I can...knowledge has the power to make collecting antiques and vintage more fun!
Good afternoon George, I think you know the Goodwill places where you find better stuff.My wife and I have visited a lot of Goodwills in Florida, but very often it was a flop.It may be that European, especially German eyes look for things you can't find by Goodwill. Greatings from your German fan .The second spot has a lot of things I want to have in our home.This mall runs under highend mall with corresponding prices.
George you forgot to pick me up. Your in Dallas I live in north Louisiana. Maybe next time. Your with the guys this time .
Too much fun. Great stuff
That was fun!! That Czech necklace is gorgeous!! I love how informative your videos always are!!
Strange to see items that were everywhere when I was growing up. Fun and Informative. Thanks...
Nice program,ENTERESTING, I'm a thrift store guy,excluding goodwill, I purchased a cigar box full of costume items, all but 1 ring sold for $8.000 PAID 2.00 FOR BOX AND CONTENTS.HAVE A GOOD ONE GUYS.
👍👍👍
Hi George!! I have that Chick Cookie Jar...didn't realize its' value... wow!! Thanks for taking us along!!
Super smart idea with the rugs to attach a photo of the full design!
Jeffrey, real nifty vintage, just bought an EC box, money tree purse for $22. What a buy!
Great video. Great narration as usual with tons of information. Thanks for sharing your thrifting trip.
In PHX AZ,.& Area, There r 60+ stores. Luv, luv them! They put ppl to work,. & Job train.. Yes higher prices, lately, they have rent, salaries, insurance, utilities.. discounts daily, senior/student/$1 Thursdays/teachers..👍♥️😉👖
I do understand the Goodwills can be great! This one wasn't, and the market judged it harshly. The non-chain thrift across the street was great though!
As always, another enlightening experience.
Another great episode! Luv you!
Always learn something new from your videos. Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge.
Your videos are great. The Easter Bunny used to bring me those candy-coated Easter eggs back in the 60s.
love that you call out the prices!So helpful!!
We love Xeno, but when it comes to what sells, we listen to George! Sorry X!
I'll take the Capodiamonte busts for $3000.00! Lol. I wish! They're stunning! Thanks for showing them.
They sure are!
Best part of my day ❤
I “met” you via crazyLampLady videos.. You are a wealth of knowledge.. it is sooo interesting to watch your videos!
Me too!
@@missmodern Me three!
Thanks again George for sharing your knowledge 👍 it's just amazing the things I learn every time you post
Blessings and love from
Utah
👍🏽 thanks. Good to know
Love the stick frame!!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with all of us!
That clock is so romantical
Glad to see you showing more primitives antiques. Not all glass
You are in my stomping grounds!! Southern thrift was really one of my fave places to go. And the Gaslamp Antique mall!!
I have a ton of that turquoise, I want to send you some, but no ride to post office. I have a great box of jewelry for the nurse Flipper, kat sitting in my room for forever. Be on the lookout, I will try to get that to you!
I used to have the sugared eggs. Wish I still had them.
Great video. I rarely find much at thrift shops, antique malls work better for me. Makes me want to head out now to look at some.
Welcome to my home town. That Southern Thrift is very proud of their items. I love Gas Lamp, there are two of them in the same area. I can spend hours and have in both of them. Happy thrifting.
A lot of cross stitcher’s love those vintage and antique frames.
I agree!
@@TheAntiqueNomad especially if they stitch (like me) reproduction samplers or reproduction style samplers.
Take me back to the days of reasonable and honest prices in a 'second hand store. I'm not interested in outrageously priced "art- work" when l'm working two jobs so l can feed my kids!!
Hello George thanks for the trip!! Loved all the Coca-Cola stuff even tho it was newer.
